I was so confused until I realized this is the UK and you all love "biscuits" with tea.

Both the US and UK define a biscuit as a small unleavened cake.

For some reason US folks call all but one type of small unleavened cakes "coookies" which is a specific type of biscuit.

It would be like calling all beer "stout".
